Fantastic NEW Audiobooks for Teens

Sapphique by Catherine Fisher

Incarceron Series Book #2

The only one who escaped . . . And the one who could destroy them all.

Incarceron,
the living prison, has lost one of its inmates to the outside world:
Finn’s escaped, only to find that Outside is not at all what he
expected. Used to the technologically advanced, if violently harsh,
conditions of the prison, Finn is now forced to obey the rules of
Protocol, which require all people to live without technology. To Finn,
Outside is just a prison of another kind, especially when Claudia, the
daughter of the prison’s warden, declares Finn the lost heir to the
throne. When another claimant emerges, both Finn’s and Claudia’s very
lives hang on Finn convincing the Court of something that even he
doesn’t fully believe.

Meanwhile, Finn’s oathbrother Keiro and
his friend Attia are still trapped inside Incarceron. They are searching
for a magical glove, which legend says Sapphique used to escape. To
find it, they must battle the prison itself, because Incarceron wants
the glove too.

Poison Princess by Kresley Cole

Arcana Chronicles Series Book #1

An apocalyptic event has
destroyed Evie’s hometown and killed her mother. What makes it worse?
Evie’s prophetic visions predicted it all—but she wrote it off as one of
her freakish dreams. Now Evie teams up with a wrong-side-of-the-bayou
classmate: Jack Deveaux. They are forced to leave town on a road trip
heading to meet Evie’s maternal grandmother. Meanwhile, Evie is coming
to terms with the fact that she has special powers—powers that have
revealed themselves to her slowly.

The mythology of the story is
inspired by Tarot cards. Evie is the personification of the Empress
Tarot card, the genesis of her abilities. Along the way, she and Jack
meet teens who have taken on the powers of other Tarot characters. It
seems an ancient prophesy is being played out, and these teens have been
tapped to reenact the battle.
